The space
We couldn't be more excited to share our Beach House with you and your family. There are several reasons we chose this area and this community to be more specific. Safety and security was really a main focus for our family. The Shipwatch community is completely gated, very quiet and safe with no busy streets to cross for our kids. The location is so central to everything we needed, we wanted the ability to stay home and walk to eat, shop and relax on the sand. We've stayed in so many rentals and really know the frustrations and the downfalls of staying in other families homes, so we didn't cut corners on sheets, towels, mattresses or pillows, you'll find everything we use in our own personal home here at our Beach house.

The Home:
The beach house is a Four bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom three level home. The living room is located on the first floor with a half bathroom.

The Second floor:
1 Master bedroom with en suite bathroom, freestanding tub, walk in shower and Private patio
1 Queen bedroom
1 Bunk Room Containing a Triple bunk Queen, Full and double.
1 Full bathroom

The Queen bedroom and Bunk bedroom share a bathroom between the two bedrooms.

The Third floor:
you'll find another Master bedroom with en suite bathroom.

Make sure to take videos and pictures of every single thing in this house. My security deposit was refunded and then the very next day charged 247 for a blind that we didn’t break- we didn’t break anything and would have reported it immediately. I let the owner know that there were broken windows, broken shower doors, coffee pot broken but didn’t mention duct tape holding blinds/completely broken blinds or faucets that don’t turn on/off well. Take videos and pictures!!

Hi Chrissy, Thank you for your feedback. We take all post-stay concerns seriously and conduct a thorough review of each case using inspection records and supporting documentation. After completing the review process, the charge was found to be valid and was also upheld through the payment provider’s review. Based on these findings, the charge remains in place in accordance with our policy. We understand you may see the situation differently, but we apply the same process consistently to ensure fairness and accuracy for both guests and property owners. We appreciate you staying with us and sharing your thoughts.

We had an awesome time at this beach house in the Shipwatch neighborhood—super safe and peaceful. The house was really clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beach was less than 5 minutes away, and the outlet mall was right across the street. Shops and restaurants were super close too.We had a quick issue with the garage code, but the host fixed it right away—great communication! Would definitely stay here again!

There were a few inconveniences with the oven that didnt work and microwave door handle that was broken but I was reassured with the customer service that those things would get taken care of. They were very understanding and responded quickly to my concerns. Other than that the house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Over all we had a good stay.

Terrible Experience!

Terrible experience with rental agency. First red flag. Cleaning staff beyond disbelief. Could not dispute claims w/o pictures. Poor customer service. Site was a construction mess. Called to dispute their claims and was hung up on. Stay away! Go somewhere else!

Location Was perfect; The Home Needs Care

The neighborhood is great. It is a gated community in a perfect location, with a private beach access, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The communication with Johnny or the property manager was always punctual which was appreciated. However, the cleanliness and maintenance of the home was less than ideal. The floors were pretty dirty when we arrived. There were crumbs on the kitchen table and leftover water/soap stains on the bathroom mirrors and shower doors from the previous guests. The property also needs some landscaping and other maintenance. Everything around the entrance of the house is overgrown and looks pretty unwelcoming upon arrival. My brother had to trim back the overgrown shrubs on the side of the house in order for us to park without blocking others in, and the living room furniture had some questionable stains on it, as well as the white comforter on the 3rd floor bedroom. What we paid for the location of the home and the private beach access was fair, but the management of the home needs attention. I would rate our stay an overall 6.5/10.
